    Mine, to be specific. I was just literally outside a friends house dropping him home, stuck it into first to take off, car rattled, didn't move, then died, cut out, buhbye. Turned it back on, came straight on tried to lift off the clutch and the whole car shook, idled at 500 and died again, she revved fine but didn't move....the temperature guage was off the needle.

    Took a look under the bonnet, smoke simmered out, clutch is gone me reckons =[

    The worst part was I was in Knocklyon while I live in Citywest, so I got a tow truck out.....and the friggin car nearly fell off it as he went around the corner!

    If the temp guage was of the clock and she was steaming I would say it's more than your clutch! :eek:

    If you'd have been in it though I swear it felt like death :o

    My mechanic, a Honda one, reckons it's the release bearing in the clutch, but the mechanic it's gone to, my Dads one, reckons it's a snapped CV Joint?

    Not steam ploomin out, just like when you drop water on hot steel and it steams off, that type and for a second only :)
